This week on Episode 113, The passing of Tom Disch is the major downer of the week. I start the rest of the hour with a story from Shaun Saunders. I run his short story H.A.D. as a prime example of how Science Fiction is on the bleeding edge of not only science but social and cultural dynamics. The tie in concerns new concerns in medicine and the age group they are aimed at. The story is disturbing in its own right, the truth is frightening. Plus AMC cable channel wants to one up SCI Fi, discussion on Tor Books release of free E-Books, does it benefit the authors? EOS is joining the free ebook fray - however I have reservations, Cambell and Sturgeon awards are out - with some drama thrown in with the Locus awards and at the bottom of the hour I play part two of Matthew Jarpe's Chicken Soup for Mars and Venus. Its 2 for a penny at the BMU penny candy store and you have a brand new quarter, enjoy!
Science Fiction, Science Fiction and more science fiction! If it's on TV in print in the movies or even audio science fiction, We try to cover whatever is happening. Also the science of today that might influence new Science fiction.
Beam Me Up Paul Cole
Email me at beammeup@gwi.net Beam Me Up podcast is the recorded version of the live radio program originating from WRFR lp/fm 93.3 in Rockland Maine each Saturday at 4pm. We stream the show from http://www.wrfr.org in real time as well. (select Live Steam from the main wrfr page) The theme of the show is discussion of current science fiction material. We have ongoing conversations about current, new and classic science fiction - what is currently in the theaters, in print and television. Also I like to include science articles that are just out there far enough that I think might influence new science fiction. As time permits, we play as much quality audio science fiction as we can. At least one or two stories during the show. Often I use fiction that has been released under Creative Commons or that material that might be in the public domain but often I ask the authors directly if we can broadcast their short stories. For additional information and or more material and links, please visit the show's blog at www.wrfrbeameup.blogspot.com If you have a short science fiction story and would like to have us read it on-air, please contact us. The show's email address is beammeup@gwi.net. Comments and suggestions are always welcomed.
